Mom too shy to post

Hello old friends. I have been sooo out of the henna loop, but finally got the time to do some last weekend at Mom's (you know she loves the henna). Did such a beautiful design on her foot (which, sadly turned out orange and did not darken - but that's another issue) that she was inspired to pick up a cone! That's right, Mom the guinea pig hennaed me. A lower back design that was very impressive for a first time (her generation knows how to frost a cake)... AND came out quite a nice medium-dark brown. Darker than mine did on her (heavier lines). She felt so hip & so proud - I told her she should go tell the forum. She declined (probably doesn't want to show me up). Unfortunately, I had a reaction to my old reliable New Skin & tape wrap. Blisters and everything. Cleared up fast and did not show up everywhere the tape touched, so maybe it was mechanical trauma from ripping off the VERY well adhered tape rather than an allergy? Was it revenge for the skin I ripped off the bottom of her foot that time?? Was not the henna. Showed up around the design, not on it. Anyway, I had to brag for her. (Left 2 cones in her fridge ... will Mom become an addict????)
